Abstract: The primary function of the CMS 855I Physician and Non-Physician Practitioners Medicare Enrollment Application is to gather information from a supplier that tells us who they are, whether they meet certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where they render their services, the identity of individuals that manage their practice, and information necessary to establish the correct claims payment. The goal of periodically evaluating and revising the CMS 855I enrollment application is to simplify and clarify the information collection without jeopardizing our need to collect specific information.
